MUG SHOTS by Jean Luc Dushime

Study Hall is the Happiest Two Hours

Perhaps the girls and I will go for the new “Study Hall” hours at Literati Cafe tonight from 5- 7pm.  These two hours are better than any Happy Hour I’ve been to. Upholding the Literati Cafe style and standards, the Study Hall’s  $2 Angus Mini Burgers and $3 Stromboli are pretty freaking delicious and the specialty cocktails are incredible. Plus the bar has two flat screen TVs.

Whaaat…?Flat Screen TVs in Literati Cafe!?

I know, that’s what I said when someone invited me to Lit Cafe Bar a few weeks ago to watch the Lakers finals. But heck, it must have been good luck, because our boys in purple are gold are champions and I found a new favorite restaurant.

When I saw these low prices I was shocked…so shocked I had to take a photo with my camera phone for proof.
